What Car Would you Suggest Please?

[EuroTrotters]

Hi,

I am looking to replace my Range Rover with a Luxury Grand Tourer.

Its to use for long Distance trips to Spain, Scotland and up in the Alps in Winter.

I just cannot think what to replace it with?.

* 4X4 Or at least AWD
* 5 to 8 Comfortable Seats.
* I don't like saloons so must be Estate/Minivan
* Prefer Diesel
* High Towing Capacity
* Power and Refinement

Used Market - Budget is £25,000

Any suggestions please?

Audi A6 Quattro?

BMW 5 series xdrive.

VW Caravelle 4x4

If 4x4 then the world's your oyster but most will be disappointing compared to the range rover.

Cheers James

Toyota Landcruiser is a possibility probably get more for your money than range rover

 

[fat haggis]

Xc60 or xc90 lovely the latter especially

If i was in the market for a vehicle of your wanting i would go for the Porsche Cayenne.

X trail worth a look too, half the price of some others, does the same job, do you place value on a badge ? If not go for Jap or Korean.

 

[bobnick]

Of course you will factor in depreciation.

 

[Wanderlust]

Depreciation not such a big issue if buying used, depending on how used.

Didn't read the last 2 paras/sentences. Agree a 3/4 year old used not that important.

I went from Cornwall to Inverurie a couple of weeks ago in my bmw 520d… 760miles with one tank full and only stopped once for a pee. So comfortable at a leisurely drive….

 

[Simon Meadwell]

G wagon but will need to increase your budget lol

 

[Cheshirecat57]

Kia Sorento

Mercedes ML420 diesel will be my next. I've had an ML 350 petrol auto for the last eight years and apart from one broken coil spring it's not put a foot wrong. Very comfortable on a long trip, it's been from Cardiff to Geneva and back at least 6 times. Put a ski box and bikes on top plus bikes on the back and makes no difference. Awesome in snow too

I had a Volvo XC90 for one week on hire a few years ago, terrible, uncomfortable
seats and an awful vibration from the diesel engine, gave me a headache every time I drove it. I couldn't wait to hand it back

Not great road cars though Phil. I had a top of the range one maybe 15 years ago and I cant tell you how tiring it was to drive to Spain.

Lovely car but servicing is expensive and they eat tyres, very expensive to keep on the road. Probably cheaper than a range rover though

Not the case with mine! Inscription T8.

Yep my brother in law had an Amazon a few years ago. Great on snow or off-road but not something for long motorway journeys. Definitely a bit agricultural.

Not had one, just know its teriffic off road for a road car.

Wife has a Tiguan 4*4 auto it'snice, when I'm allowed to drive it.

 

[bobnick]

Had both RRs and Cruisers over the years. Without doubt the Cruisers are more reliable. Both were excellent in the desert if driven proppa.
(yes i know that's not relevant here)

Can’t beat it off road. The number of Defenders I pulled out of sand you wouldn’t believe. And I only had normal road tyres.

 

[AJM2]

For £25k you’d struggle to get a new shape xc90, if you got one it would be one of the earlier models that have had real reliability issues.

 

[Ditcha]

Audi Q7 or VW touareg

For that money you could get a very nice Skoda Superb estate.
Ive just recently got a 2 year old petrol one with the dsg gearbox, as I couldnt justify a diesel ( too many short journeys) and I am very pleased with it. Largest load in its class, extremely comfortable and drives like a dream.

 

[63720]

I'd go Toyota, Top Gear couldn't break one. Or, look at the best buy reliability charts.

Barry who I’m working for is into his cars and just swapped his RR for https://www.bentleymotors.com/en/mo...VlKl3Ch2MNgf4EAAYASAAEgKp-PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

[dunnah01]

Save £25k and keep the Range Rover?

Did you see the £25k budget?
I know a bloke who’s bought the Rolls Royce 4x4’s, so ugly
